"Oh I really really like Paula Cary’s chap, Sister, Blood and Bone!  Its poems contain the paradox of garnets—stones for, say, jewelry but ever evoking blood. Jewels that should be pretty but end up with other significances besides decorativeness."

"I also love how some poems, while loving, are not sentimental.  That’s a good enough combo, except that Cary ups the juice to actually end up in nothing less than rapture!"

"And I love how other poems make my bones wince (yes, bones, not merely flesh as the effect goes deep)—except that I’m wincing with delight.  It’s that paradoxical effect—you know, you’re thinking: that’s a tad perverse and yet being highly amused."

"I am attracted to these poems for their beauty and charm, notwithstanding—or maybe, in addition to—their rather eerie facets."

Blood Pudding Press is very pleased to announce its third new poetry chapbook of 2013, “Sister, Blood and Bone” by Paula Cary, with cover art created from the doll photo, “Steampunk Dia De Los Muertos Doll 353” by Michael Brown/ UC Studios.

Paula Cary’s ten poems within this swimming diving and skull collecting offering were inspired by her sister Lisa Cary, her muse. The poems offer small bursts of life and death and blood based connections.  Blood and bones collected from under water and saved for memories and keep sake and art sake.

Each chapbook is hand-bound with colorful threads pricked in.  If you would like a specific color cover, feel free to specify when you purchase – either light gray with circles OR medium gray OR variations of tan (or Blood Pudding Press will choose for you and surprise you.)  Also if you would like a certain color of binding thread, feel free to specify that – either soft/light/dark blue water OR multicolored bright blue/green OR multicolored bright RAINBOW flying mermaid legs.

“You are bloodless white

From the frigid depths

Your lips a literal blue

They match your eyes

And I think of sugar skulls

Dressed in colored frosting”

(from Paula Cary’s poem “After the Dive in Troy Springs”)
